Legacy

I did previously review this, but thought I’d try to give an updated review. Fresh, sweet, floral, clean, bright, citrusy, woodsy, feminine, sensual, flirty, charming, whimsical, delightful, cheerful, joyful, crisp, airy, happy, uplifting, radiant, luminous, inviting, comforting, cozy On me this opens with a bright burst of citrusy orange, the sweet honeyed floral scent of honeysuckle, fresh and clean freesia, and soft floral notes intertwined with enchanting woodsy notes. As it dries down, the floral and woodsy notes are wrapped in a sensual blanket of warm golden amber and powdery vanilla. This feels like standing in a field of wildflowers on the edge of the woods right during that golden hour in the evening, and while the sun begins to set. The sun is warm on your skin, and there is just a very gentle breeze stirring the trees and flowers, and also bringing the smell of crisp fresh country air. This is so very beautiful, and one of my absolute favorite florals! It’s so very charming, whimsical, and delightful! The smell of this always brings a smile to my face! I love how it’s both bright and cheerful, while also being sensual and flirty. It even feels somewhat refreshing, so I love wearing it during the spring and summer. It’s a fantastic fragrance for casual occasions as well as work and/or school. I would even say this would be a lovely signature scent, but sadly it’s been discontinued, and is quite hard to come by, or goes for hundreds of dollars now. Fortunately, I still have my original round bottle (I’ve always been a big fan of Coach, both their perfumes and purses, so I even own the Legacy purse, wallet, and even keychain), but I use it sparingly as I hope to have it for many more years. I get excellent performance with Coach Legacy. The longevity is impressive, it lasts throughout the entire day on me. The projection is great, it radiates out 2-3 feet from me. For reference, some of my other favorite florals include Coach Love (original 2012 version), Coach Poppy Blossom, Coach Poppy Wild Flower, Coach Dreams Sunset, JPG La Belle Flower Edition, JPG Classique X, Marc Jacobs Mod Noir, Chloe Love Story, Chloe EDP, Flowerbomb, Flowerbomb Ruby Orchid, Flowerbomb Extreme, Kayali Deja Vu White Flower

Another gorgeous fragrance from Coach! I bought this around the same time as Coach Poppy launched (2009?) and I’m still wearing it all of these years later! It’s a beautiful, fresh, bright, crisp, happy, feminine, woodsy floral scent! It’s slightly sweet, but nothing gourmand, and the fresh scent feels like fresh sweet country air! The honeysuckle, floral notes, and woodsy notes are the most prominent on me. The orange also shines through with a bright, clean, and crisp freshness. The vanilla and amber are subtle on me, but they do become a little more noticeable during the dry down. Legacy has excellent performance on me! It lasts all day and I can still smell it on me the next morning! The silage is great too... it radiates out to about an arm’s length! It does remind me in a way of Coach Love (2012 version), but not as floral and with more sweetness! This is a good thing because I adore Love! It also reminds me somewhat of the original VS Pink, Marc Jacobs Mod Noir, and fragrances that Hollister carried back in the early 2000s!

Coach Legacy (the old rainbow stripe cap version) is a fragrance that haunts me to this day. I wore this a lot in my mid 20s, and unfortunately it was discontinued. Fast forward 15 years and I still have nothing else that does for me what this perfume did. I have been chasing that same olfactory "high" that Legacy gave me in every new bottle I buy... I wish they would bring it back.

I bought this for my wife for mother's day and I really love this on her. When I come in from work I get swept away by the sweet floral aroma. I guess it last for awhile as well. I asked her one day when she put it on and she said early that morning and it was around 6:00pm when I asked her. Women don't be afraid to wear this around your guys. I know I go crazy when I smell it.

I just re-ordered this for myself - it's easily found Online. I wore this a couple of years ago when spending a month up in British Columbia (I got so many compliments when wearing it, especially from women) - my bottle is almost empty, so needed to treat myself today. I love being surrounded by this intense floral frag. Sillage is around 6 ft, longevity right at 10 hours.
